Our Model Pension Plan Funded Status Improved Slightly in Q2

During the second quarter of 2020 (Q2), the funded status of the model pension plan examined in each issue of Prism improved by 1 percentage point, to 79 percent.

This increase in funded status is primarily attributable to a 13 percent asset gain offset by a 12 percent increase in liabilities, related to a decrease in corporate bond yields.
